1999 Ford Taurus SE review from North America
"Awesome driving with sleek good looks and superb safety rating"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only thing that has gone wrong with the car is that the driver seat belt doesn't snap back as quickly as it used to when the car was new.
General comments?
This car has been the best vehicle I've owned for the following reasons: (including Mustangs, Chevy Nova, Plymouth wagon, Ford Aerostar, Ford Econoline)
Handles like a dream.
Feels solid, from door closure to transmission to non-existent road noise.
Great in snow. Well-balanced for minimal sliding on icy roads.
Parks small, but roomy inside.
Beautiful styling. Sweet curves.
No wind drag. Virtually free of high wind effects.
Plenty of power for quick passes, although there's a slight delay, but that's because of the government restrictions for exhaust. Can't fault Ford for that.
Durable finish. I've dinged up a couple of spots, and I've sideswiped another car in the driveway, and you couldn't even tell on the finish.
I LOVE this car!
